DEBUT are back at The Brunel Museum with another of their secret classical concerts. It will take place in the museum’s tunnel shaft, built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel to enable work on the Thames tunnel connecting Rotherhithe and Wapping.

Once described as the Eighth Wonder of the World, the chamber is half the size of Shakespeare’s Globe, and has recently opened again for the first time in 150 years.


Join DEBUT, creators of Airbnb's No.1 Music Experience, for their intimate and fun Secret Concert at Brunel Museum’s awe-inspiring Thames Tunnel Shaft with botanical cocktails by Midnight Apothecary

On the night

“The night will start, unintuitively, on the roof of the Brunel Museum. This is where Midnight Apothecary have set up their charming fairylit urban garden, complete with salvaged garden furniture, firepits, and thriving vegetable and herb patches, and where you can start the proceedings off with one or two of their botanical cocktails. If you're feeling peckish, you can mollify your appetite with some homemade Vietnamese for courtesy of Lò Viêt.

When the doors to the tunnel open, you can descend into the vast space and grab a seat at the bottom. You'll be just a few feet from the performers, who'll put on one of their energetic, and spine-tinglingly good shows, thanks in no small part to the magnificent acoustics of the cathedral-like space. And thanks in the much larger part to the fact that they're all brilliantly accomplished musicians, too. When the show's over, you can chat to the players, and grab another cocktail from the roof garden.” 

— The Nudge (The Definitive Insiders’ Guide to London)

It’s the perfect date night, way for lone rangers to meet new people, or excuse to bring together friends and family for a celebration.
